bread.cheese.wine.sugar. is there anything else that you need in life? je ne pense pas. however, though i have a deep deep love for these four essential ingredients i am trying to pace myself. 6 months to go and there is only so much bread and wine that stomach acid can digest. have i seen the eiffel tower yet? only the top...twice. have i seen the louvre? no, i've passed the metro a few times. have i been to marche des enfants rouge (the oldest covered food market in paris)?...duh! 5 baguettes? 4 croissants? 3 cheeses? cheap wine? of course. as sundays are generally lazy days in paris i decided to stay in "le marais" the 3eme & 4eme arrondisements (neighborhoods) to explore my foodie passions. on the good advice from my fellow foodies i hit up the famous juice bar called "Bob's Kitchen," and "Rose Bakery" (again...twice). as it was packed to the brim i grabbed brunch to go.
read: the extent of my vegetable intake over the course of 3 days...a delicious mini tartine of sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, eggplant, etc. topped off with:
their famous carrot cake. best i've ever had. i enjoyed this petit dejeuner at place des vosges, an old royal stomping ground, renowned for its exceptional people watching. however, i'm pretty sure most of the people were watching me as i chased after my paper bag in the wind and shooed away the pigeons. i did manage to snap a couple photos of the natives in their natural habitat.
peculiar creatures they are.
it hurts my eyes.
